Custom splinting is a therapeutic service used to support recovery from injury, reduce inflammation, prevent further strain, and restore function to affected joints. It’s ideal for individuals recovering from surgery, managing chronic joint pain, or experiencing instability due to repetitive use. At Equilibrium in Hollywood, FL, we provide fully personalized splinting solutions designed to improve your quality of life and accelerate your recovery process.
Splints are fabricated to precisely fit your body and serve a wide range of functions, whether you need support after surgery, stabilization during a flare-up, or targeted positioning for healing. Custom splinting helps reduce pain, protect healing tissues, and restore movement by offloading pressure from joints and soft tissues. It’s commonly recommended for conditions involving the elbow, wrist splints, fingers, thumb splints, or even the ankle and knee. To get started with a custom splint in Hollywood, FL, tailored to your unique needs, contact Equilibrium Lymphatic Therapy in Hollywood, FL, today.

Your Questions Answered
Custom splinting works by stabilizing and supporting a specific joint to help reduce pain, manage inflammation, and promote healing. Each splint is molded to fit your body so that it provides comfort and the right level of protection.
Custom splinting may be right for you if you are recovering from surgery, experiencing joint pain, or dealing with repetitive strain from daily activities. It is especially helpful when standard braces are uncomfortable or don’t offer enough support.
Unlike off-the-shelf options, custom splinting is tailored specifically to your body and condition. This allows for a better fit, more comfort, and more effective support throughout your recovery.
The amount of time you need to wear your splint depends on your condition and goals. Some people use it only during certain tasks or at night, while others may wear it more regularly for several weeks.
Clean your custom splint gently with mild soap and water, then let it air dry completely. Avoid leaving it in hot places like a car or near heaters, and let your therapist know if it becomes uncomfortable or needs adjusting.
